The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

"Sophie!"

The Bloodline Chain has been activated! What happened to her!?

Just as Keynes abruptly stood up, he heard a calm male voice in his ear:

"Is it Keynes Jaslin?"

who!!?

Chapter 468 It's Too Late

"Where's Sophie? Who are you!?"

When confronted with Keynes's questions, the voice remained calm and unwavering.

"Don't worry, your granddaughter is fine."

他 说:

"Answer my question and I will guarantee her safety."

Keynes: ? ? ?

Ning Feng: "...Uh."

As soon as the words were spoken, not only Keynes, but even Ning Feng himself, who said them, couldn't hold back.

These two sentences, in the current situation, sound extremely ambiguous.

Even though he tried his best to stop himself from thinking that way, Ning Feng's mind still wandered unconsciously:

Hey, old man!

Your granddaughter is in my hands. If you don't want her to be killed, answer my questions properly!

Otherwise... hehe, don't blame me for being impolite!

He's a real villain!

Ning Feng: "…………"

This development is just too terrible, to the point that it's impossible to imagine anything further.

Incidentally, Ning Feng arranged for Han Ci to deliver the following lines.

After all, compared to myself, this person's temperament is more suitable, making it easier to empathize with the character.

Cough cough cough.

Ning Feng coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment, and said calmly and without any outward signs of emotion:

"Ms. Sophie is doing well. I can let you hear her voice."

After saying that, Ning Feng handed the phone... no, the bracelet prop, to Sophie's mouth.

"...Grandfather, I'm fine, cough cough cough."

She had barely said two sentences when Sophie started coughing incessantly because of the blood rising in her throat.

Judging from her current appearance, Sophie's condition was not good. A somewhat transparent, illusory longsword was stuck in her chest, and the wound was frozen by cold air, with no blood flowing out.

Ning Feng's hand, the cold thorns mended the ice.

The longsword pierced through her heart and body, successfully putting Sophie into a "near-death state".

However, unlike her somewhat pitiful appearance, Sophie's current state is somewhat different from that of someone truly near death.

Her expression showed no sign of pain; in fact, she seemed to have the leisure to blink and scrutinize Ning Feng in front of her.

Sophie's pain had been transferred; apart from being a little weak and choking on the blood that had just surged to her throat, she was fine.

As long as timely medical treatment is received afterward, theoretically there should be no problems.

Of course, this is just theory. When it actually happened, Sophie didn't say anything on the surface, but she was still very flustered inside.

"This sir, he truly didn't hesitate at all..."

Recalling those few short seconds, Sophie felt a chill run through her body; she truly believed that this legend was going to kill her!

That's true!

When the transparent blade, which was not cold but rather somewhat warm, sliced ​​through her skin and pierced through her flesh, the strange sensation made her body tremble involuntarily.

The moment between the slash and the end was only a brief instant, but Sophie felt as if she had truly experienced death.

In the end, it was the cold-looking Grand Duke Frostthorn who silently supported her as she fell backward, and even added the icy magic that sealed the flow of blood.

The unnamed, pure-white legend nodded and then calmly withdrew his gaze, as if he didn't care at all...

Sophie's feeling wasn't wrong; Ning Feng, who had stabbed her, indeed didn't seem to care.

First, he believed his hands were steady and wasn't worried about making mistakes.

Secondly, I have no psychological burden when it comes to treating Sophie. Even if I make a mistake, it doesn't matter... I can just heal her and try again!

Anyway, she's not his granddaughter.

Just stab it!

After hearing Sophie's voice, Keynes calmed down and said in a low voice:

"Everything really is fine."

After a moment of silence, Ning Feng finally added a sentence without compromising his public image:

"We are not enemies."

Although Ning Feng's statement was strange, Keynes was no ordinary old man, and he slowly sat back down in his seat.

While waving away the guards who rushed over upon hearing the commotion, he spoke:

"Who are you? What do you want to ask me? Also, shouldn't you introduce yourself before I answer?"

"Who I am is not important, but I know you are connected to the City of Watchers, and that is enough."

!!!

Narrowing his eyes, Keynes took out a gold coin from his palm, gently rubbed it, and nodded, saying:

"I see. It seems that His Excellency the Duke of Hanci has successfully completed his mission. Is he with you now?"

"Yes."

"So, you've come to me now to ask about the spatial beacon of the Watchtower City?"

Conversations with such a shrewd and experienced old fox are simple; Ning Feng only needed to mention it once, and Keynes already understood most of it.

“That’s right, we need to find another way to get there.”

"I see..."

Keynes reacted calmly, but Ning Feng somehow sensed something ominous in Keynes' tone.

His reaction was too calm.

Sure enough, Keynes' next words made Ning Feng's unease a reality.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you with this."

!!!

"……Why?"

He tried his best not to sound abrupt, but Ning Feng was already emanating an unstable aura.

"Because it's too late."

Ning Feng frowned and pressed on:

"What do you mean?"

Haha ...

Keynes shook his head and chuckled, bending forward. The old man, who always stood ramrod straight, appeared somewhat hunched over at this moment. He looked down at the coins on the table.

他 说:

"It means exactly what it says. If the City of Watch has already entered a state of active lockdown, then it will be too late."

"Even if I send you the beacon, there's no way to get in; you can only watch from the outside."

"No one in this world can force their way in; we can only wait for the Stargazer to lift the seal."

"Moreover, this was originally part of the Stargazer's plan, so... I'm sorry I can't offer you any help."

After saying this, Keynes sighed deeply, took off the bracelet on his wrist without hesitation, and cut off the communication.

then……

He swung his withered arm and slammed it hard onto the table.

winter!

"...I really overestimated your bottom line and even hoped that you would actually follow the procedures."

rot.

What the nobility were proud of has completely rotted away.

"In that case... let's proceed with the next plan."

Suppressing his anger, he raised his hand and tapped the bell on the table, speaking calmly:

"Go and inform all senators that I am calling an emergency meeting immediately and I need them all to attend."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the messenger waiting at the door bowed to the door and then quickly left.

Keynes, on the other hand, sat quietly in his chair, looking up at the portrait on the wall in front of him.

"Stargazer, I will complete the task you have given me."

Even if it meant losing everything the nobility had.

He wouldn't have wanted to do this if there were absolutely no other way.
